How to create an image with minimax h3 image

minimax h3 image brings text-to-image, reference-based image creation and video tools into your browser. Start with a product photo, portrait, illustration or social post, then refine the result for your brief. You do not need to install a local model or ComfyUI.

Choosing the right tool matters: on this platform, MiniMax H3 is a video model. Still images are generated by the image model you select in the image tools. Check that model’s name and options before generating.

  1. 1 / 3

    Choose text or a reference photo

    Open text-to-image to create from scratch. Use image-to-image when you already have a photo, and describe what should stay the same and what should change.

  2. 2 / 3

    Write the brief and check the cost

    Describe the subject, setting, lighting, composition and style. Select an available image model, choose a supported size and ratio, then review the credit estimate. Sign in when prompted to generate.

  3. 3 / 3

    Review, refine and download

    Check faces, hands, product details and any text. Change one instruction at a time for another variation. Review completed results in My Creations and download the version that fits your project.

Image prompts for products, portraits and posters

Start with a subject, then add the setting, composition, lighting and style. Copy a starter prompt into the image generator and adapt it to your brief. Results vary with the selected image model, reference and settings.

Product photography

Create a clean product scene for a campaign concept or social post.

A studio product photograph of a matte white ceramic coffee cup on a pale stone pedestal. Soft window light from the left, gentle natural shadows, warm neutral background, realistic ceramic texture. Centered composition with empty space above for a headline. No text, no logo, no extra objects.

For a real product, add a reference in a compatible image tool and check shape, color and packaging against the original.

Cinematic portraits

Explore a photographic look with specific light and framing.

A cinematic head-and-shoulders portrait of a fictional adult by a rain-covered cafe window. Soft side lighting, natural skin texture, subtle film grain, muted blue and warm amber tones. Eye-level camera, 85mm portrait lens look, shallow depth of field, relaxed expression. No text or watermark.

Inspect the eyes, skin, hair and visible hands. Add a suitable reference when you need a recurring character; identity can still vary.

Posters and social graphics

Define the layout and leave room for text you can finish later.

A vertical editorial poster background for a summer citrus drink. One clear glass with ice and lemon slices in the lower half, a cobalt blue background, crisp daylight and a simple yellow circle behind the glass. Keep the top third empty for a headline. Clean graphic composition, no letters, no logos.

For generated titles, specify the exact words and check every letter. Add final brand text in an editor when accuracy is essential.

Turn a detailed brief into a creative workflow

Describe the subject, intended use and details that matter. These example conversations illustrate image and video briefs; the model and settings determine the output.

Create a 15-second vertical ad for over-ear headphones: a young woman puts them on, presses play, and the noisy world fades away as the music takes over. Intimate, moody and cinematic.

Example output

Your headphone ad is ready

15s · 9:16 · Close-up → press play → the world fades → eyes closed, lost in the music. Adjust the pacing or music direction any time.
